In March, during 1-on-1 meetings with #DexterityToCollege fellows at world’s top universities, I noticed our oldest fellow (an MBA candidate) has been part of Dexterity 1-on-1s for 10 yrs and our youngest fellow (an incoming freshman) wasn’t even born when Dexterity was founded.
I was 14 when I started building small projects for kids in local slums. Twitter was yet to reach India and the tiny tots were painting birds blue (and rivers purple). Two years later, Dexterity was founded - to offer every child a platform to colour their own dreams. Happy Holi!
Even before they graduate as DexSchool Class of 2024, Vashundhara, Parnika, Prince & Aayush formed a team and ranked in the Global Top 10 at @UniOfOxford Ethics Contest. #CulturalDexterity (the values, ethos & spirit) matters more than Structural Dexterity (systems & platforms).
Back to the Base Camp! Graduates and Fellows of Dexterity, of all ages, from all over the world, under one roof.
We’re thrilled to announce that the 2024 National Meetup and Retraining Program (NMRP) will take place in Bengaluru from June 13 to June 16. #DexterityNMRP
When Shreeya (19) is done with her Virtual Reality class at @MIT, she messages Abhinav Bhaiya (25) to catch up after his International Trade Law class at @Harvard. Both are proud #DexterityToCollege fellows and this is the lifelong camaraderie that is built at Dexterity.
In 2013, I was asked in an interview, "What’s an ambitious target for Dexterity?" I said, “By 2040, we’ll put a Dexter on the moon.” It's 2024. Aryan is a #DexterityToCollege fellow and his winning entry at India Science Festival is being sent to the moon. We're one step closer!
The Pulitzer Center has announced the winners of their international writing competition for high school students. Pragyaan, a fellow under Dexterity’s National Scholar Development Program (NSDP), is in the Global Top 10 and the only Indian student on the list. #ThisIsDexterity
Was an honour and a delight to join our fellows at Dexterity’s Overseas Meetup & Retraining Program (OMRP) in Chicago last week! #DexterityToCollege fellows are making waves at world’s top colleges. India’s next generation will play a pivotal role in global academia & leadership!
Last week, 15-yr-old Hasvi became one of the youngest to climb the Island Peak or Imja Tse in the Himalayas at 6,189 meters. On her way, Hasvi scaled the Everest Base Camp, Mt. Pumori Base Camp and Mt. Kala Patthar carrying our National Flag and her Proud Dexter badge. #GoDexters
Few years ago, Dexterity's Chief of Staff Swaraj Priyadarshi spotted a child selling eggs in Patna. Swaraj started a conversation that would forever change Shivam's life. This year, Shivam is going to college on full scholarship of ₹25 lakh to study Economics. #ThisIsDexterity
To serve India, just intellectual training isn’t enough. Three #DexterityToCollege fellows, Archa, Akanksha and Abhinav now headed for a Cambridge MPhil, Heller MBA and Fletcher LLM spent years as public service fellows. Servant Leadership remains the core of Dexterity training.
This year, #DexterityToCollege fellows received offers from Harvard, Cambridge, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, Berkeley, LBS, NUS, UCL and other top universities of the world. Our fellows have now received ₹175 crores in scholarships. Proud of our National Scholar Development Program!
The last Regional Meetup and Retraining Program (RMRP) of this summer concluded in Patna last evening. In the last two weeks, RMRPs took place in six states and all zones of India bringing together several hundred Graduates and Fellows of Dexterity. #GoDexters
It's half-year mark and the Regional Meetup and Retraining Program (RMRP) of Graduates and Fellows of Dexterity has begun. Last evening, DexSchool graduates and Dexterity to College fellows convened in Delhi. In next 10 days, there’ll be RMRPs in 6 states of India. #GoDexters🇮🇳
This is 3am at DexSchool. Everyday, you train from 5am to 11pm but on the night before graduation, when exhaustion has fully consumed you, at midnight, you receive your final graduation challenge - a @Harvard_Law School negotiation. Dexters stand up and deliver! #ThisIsDexterity
DexSchool’s final week-in-residence is like “Hell Week training” of special commandos. Each moment challenges and pushes your mental and physical limits and builds stronger character and camaraderie. Dexters are tough because Dexterity training is tough!
20+ states. 30+ languages. From Dhoti Kurta to Mekhela Chador - DexSchool Class of 2023 truly represented the United Colours of Bharat. Class of ‘23, congratulations on your graduation! May you remain rooted in our culture and values as you strive to lift India up! #GoDexters✨❤️
